blair & chuck Статьи

It was beautiful. I can’t think of a еще solid endgame. If Ты think about it the flashforward scene cemented so much stuff:

Chuck is a ‘father in a way Bart never was’ (3.12): He is affectionate- picks Henry up and swings him around He compliments his son- “look how smart Ты are” He makes his son feel secure and loved- can Ты picture baby Chuck shouting “Daddy!” and happily running into Bart’s arms? Pfft. Never. Blair has finally found some success and power independent from any sort of romantic relationship with Waldorf Designs. Blair has clearly grown in a major way since she has hired Jenny to work for her. Can Ты imagine her doing that in the past? Never. Both Chuck and Blair have grown as people since they’re holding Dan and Serena’s wedding in their townhouse (it shows they’ve let bygones be bygones with Dan and approve of the Derena union).

I mean, obviously. Chuck/Blair has been a near-constant battle. Games were part of the foundation of their relationship ("You and I bonded over a mutual Любовь of scheming"), games were part of their undoing. Season 2 is inundated with dialogue about games and stakes, winning and losing. Games + Chuck and Blair's king and Queen pretensions = every chess and war cliche reference in the history of ever.

Also obviously, games aren't the point. S2's sabotage, schemes, wagers, and ~seductions are just a way for Chuck and Blair to channel their feelings for each other into a safer type of interaction. They lie that the game is what they both enjoy about their relationship, but they're really just afraid to be еще than frenemies.

BLAIR: If I say it then Chuck wins. DAN: But... if Ты say it then Ты get him and Ты win. BLAIR: No, I lose.

CHUCK: I thought Ты were ready to tell me how Ты really felt. Obviously it was just another one of your games.

“I think the draw for me with Chuck and Blair was how unique they were to television. I admit to loving a very specific prototype couple before CB came along: the bad boy and the good girl. I liked the cliché redemption arc that always brought tears to my eyes. There was a comfort in knowing exactly how those couples and stories would play out, so I was reluctant to jump into the water with Chuck and Blair. He wasn’t just a bad boy, he was a bad, bad boy. He did despicable things and felt no remorse. And Blair… Well, Blair was the bad girl. She was the one Ты root against in romantic relationships while the “good” girl sneaks in and gets the guy. So, it was to my utter surprise when I found myself wanting the baddies together. Their spark, their energy – it just exploded on screen. I liked that they were devious and manipulative, and that they could revel in that together. There was something very freeing about watching a couple that not only accepted one another fully, but really enjoyed one another.

CosmicLoveCB has many, many feels after watching the premiere of the final season of GG. First, it’s been a LONG TIME since we were interested in the story as a whole, rather than just wringing our hands and hoping against hope that Chuck wouldn’t end up killing himself by the end of each episode. So there’s that.

Lily wins World’s Worst Mom Award (although she is ironically the BEST mom to Chuck–not that the bar there is very high или even existent) which is perfect considering that she has renewed her vows with the World’s Worst Dad. She SERIOUSLY hasn’t spoken to her daughter for an entire summer, and just assumes everything must be hunky dory? Wow. Rufus has surpassed even his ever-douchey son in douchiness and obliviousness, Dan got bitchslapped twice, Ivy is… icky, Nate is…RELEVANT (yes, Ты read that correctly)–and Chuck and Blair? Well, their only flaw is being flawless.

From the very beginning of Gossip Girl, Chuck and Blair have had an inexplicable, intense connection. They were demonstrated early on to be matched in intelligence, cunning and wit, and after the infamous limo scene in 1.07, it became strikingly clear that they were (and still are) a perfect physical match as well. Although everyone knows that Chuck and Blair have always been destined for each other, they have suffered a couple of trouble spots in their union due mostly to Назад emotional immaturity and feelings of inequality, particularly in terms of their professions. We say Назад because they seem to be emotionally matched now as well as vocationally. Basically, Chuck and Blair are ready to take over the world.

In the past, Blair and Chuck seemed to take turns as the torch bearer of their love, as the one who was emotionally ready for what being together actually meant. Chuck and Blair were always еще than just dating или sleeping together, или whatever they were doing at the time—they were always going to be forever. Whenever things were going too smoothly, one of them—usually Chuck—would resort to some kind of self-fulfilling...

We made it, Gossip Girl fandom! We survived the Season of Pacts with God and “Inside.” In fact, “Inside” is so dead and buried at this point, even D-Humps is over it. Group hugs, Dom and peonies for all!

Pardon us while we attempt to collect our emotions. The season 5 finale had us feeling things all over the spectrum of feels, from smiling like idiots, growling in rage, moments of teary-ness, and of course, cheering like true Chairleaders. (There was also some yawning in there albeit briefly and only during scenes involving Lola and William). There was so much going on in this episode that we were literally stunned to silence for a few минуты after squealing over the final scene, asking ourselves (and each other) “What the fuck just happened?”

Can we first just say that Lily фургон, ван der бас, бас-гитара Humphrey is a HBIC/BAMF who can do no wrong in our eyes? We LOVED her scene with Bart talking about how just because Bart was back didn’t make Chuck any less her child too. Seriously, who cares about Evelyn/Elizabeth when Chuck has a mommy...

For anyone who is just tuning into Gossip Girl, allow us to briefly summarize the fifth season. For the first 21 episodes, Nate ran his big boy job, Serena sucked at life, and Chuck was sad. Blair planned a wedding to a royal drip that everyone and their mother knew wouldn’t last–we just didn’t think it would take THAT long. Blair was pregnant and then…wasn’t. Blair went straight from being married to the Prince of Monaco to having the most boring relationship ever with the King of Douche, Dan Humphrey.

Suddenly, in 5.22 and 5.23, the plot starts to move. Bart бас, бас-гитара is alive. We find out his reasons for faking his own death and Chuck (with the help of Blair and others) successfully schemes to imprison Bart’s attacker/competitor. Blair made a commitment to find herself and has spent the last two episodes at Chuck’s side. Serena admitted to temporarily being Gossip Girl and started sharing scenes with everyone again, including helping both Chuck and Blair. Basically, еще things happened in the past two episodes than the rest of the season. Our Вопрос for the GG writers is this: WHY 21 episodes of Louis and pandering to DB fans...

Leighton and Ed in Shanghai at Harry Winston Sarah Goodman wrote the episode (she also wrote “if two people are meant to be together, eventually they will find their way back”, the Bar scene in 2x23, “I will always be your family” 3x13, etc.) all the season 2 parallels Blair can’t say ILY to Dan She is there for Chuck, he was her priority in the last two episodes, even when D needed her. “After everything we’ve been through, there’s no room for secrets, nor should there be. Whatever it is, Ты can tell me, Blair.” Is that coincidence?? At the same time we witness all the trust issues Dan has with her, they lie to each other and they have secrets. Dan & Blair never share real intimate moments, all they do is talk, talk, talk. It’s not even the sex they don’t seem to have, but have Ты ever seen them like this или this или this?? That’s strange, in my opinion & I say the writers do that on purpose.

We have just recovered from our anxiety attacks after watching 5.22. May we just say…holy motherfucking shit? We felt like this was the first episode of classic, genuine, Gossip Girl in a long, long time. We feel confident in saying that this was the best episode of the season, for a few reasons. Prepare yourselves for some sap people ’cause cosmiclovecb is bringing it.

Blair is back, bitches! Funny how being around Chuck, and Serena and Nate for that matter, does that. We loved Chuck’s reference to the “old Blair.” Chuck knew that Blair would be the one to crack the code. And Chuck could always crack Blair’s code. She was so protective of and concerned for Chuck that it was beautiful to watch; now if only she could start giving a fuck about Serena. Not to mention, she was quick, and snarky and just в общем и целом, общая awesome. Plus, she looked hot as hell. But Blair isn’t the only one who’s back.

Wow. Just wow. Thinking back on our “In Defense of Blair Waldorf” post, this episode really didn’t help our case. Looks like Blair was a bit premature in saying she hit rock bottom in 5.19. NOW she has nowhere to go but up–please don’t consider that a challenge, GG Writers. What we saw in the newest episode was Blair at, quite possibly, the craziest point she has ever been. It seems that Claire Carlyle and Blair Waldorf are internally struggling to be the dominant persona, and the result is kind of a hot mess.

On the plus side, it’s good to see that the Waldorf in her is making a comeback, but the Carlyle side still isn’t going down without a fight. Blair has finally realized that she is not herself right now, so Благодарности to her for that. The Claire-Waldorf Beast led to her Актёрское искусство hilariously AWFUL and we actually felt a bit bad for Dan in this episode. He is so clueless about what is really going on in her head, but he tries, he really does. She treats him like a blend of a gay BFF, a brother, and a lap-dog. We really feel like Dan has no idea what he has gotten himself into. It’s a good thing they’re...

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we tuned in this week for yet another episode of “Inside” meets “The Chuck Bass/Maury Povitch Crossover Show.” The episode had it’s ups–Nate appearing to give not just one, but two fucks about his best friend again– and lows–anytime Claire and Dylan conversed pretentiously on our screens. Which was a lot.

Basically, Dan and Blair threw a boring party and were boring hosts with their boring relationship, continuing to bring out the boring worst in each other with their boring breakup looming. There has to be a reason why the writers are making DB into the worst couple yet on GG and considering that terrible couples on this Показать include Vanessa and Scott, that’s saying a LOT. Blair is so out of the loop right now, it’s ridiculous. And why we think it’s upsetting that Blair no longer seems to care about anyone anymore, we are waiting patiently for 5.22, when she most likely will start to remember who Blair Waldorf really is and reevaluate her priorities.

Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Blair (Leighton Meester). Blair and Chuck. They are, perhaps, the most beloved romance in all of Gossip Girl history. With Season 6 possibly wrapping up their love/hate Любовь story (whether it'll be with a pretty bow is yet to be determined), we take a look back over every fate-driven moment of Chair’s complex Любовь story.

Season 1

The limo Where it all began. For two such classy people, gettin’ it on in the backseat is pretty out of character — even if it is the backseat of a limo. But Chuck always brings out Blair’s wild side, which is why they’re so good together.

The necklace Both Chuck and Blair are too intent on ruling the world to admit how much their hookup means — but Chuck says it the Upper East Side way: with a mad-expensive present and about half an час of neck-stroking. Blair is still fixated on Nate, and Chuck is still fixated on never loving anyone ever, but it’s clear their feelings are too strong to ignore.

After watching this episode, we feel like our recap will read еще like Chuck бас, бас-гитара Appreciation Post Part 500 или whatever, because damn. He’s just that awesome. From rocking a red onesie jumpsuit, to proving yet again that he is еще serious about Blair’s happiness than even Blair herself, he was the shining звезда of the show.

We loved Chuck in his onesie–Seriously, who else could pull that off?–and his man-bonding session with Nate at the beginning of the episode. We also loved the callback to early seasons of Chuck and Nate playing sports together–it actually felt like Gossip Girl. However, Nate is officially on notice with us right now. Telling Dan about the dowry, knowing that Chuck NEVER wanted Blair to know about it? We know you’re super busy with your blog and doing Serena’s sister and all, but Chuck is supposed to be your number one bro, bro.

It was so nice to see Serena being a friend/sister to Chuck, albeit briefly, when he needed someone and had absolutely nobody to turn to. Can we PLEASE get еще of these lovely Chuck and Serena scenes? They are the only ones who can even guess as to what...

Dorata: Miss Blair, Ты no longer held hostage by evil Prince Louis. Blair: Oh yay! Now I can really get my hands on that wild forest atop my boyfriend's head! Chuck: I don't think you're ready for this jelly. Nate: No one is ready for that jelly. Why can't I have a onesie? Chuck: Cause you're not Chuck Bass. Nate: Wah, problems with Lola. Chuck: I have a кенгуру tattoo. Nate: ........... Serena: What are Ты gonna do now that you're free of the French Terminator? Blair: Screw your ex, DUH! Serena: Oh right, I'm happy for you. Too bad Ты can't be a princess anymore. Blair: Wait! HOLD UP, BITCH! I didn't think this through! Serena: I don't wanna be loved by anyone so I'm gonna force Lola to take my place as New York's most famous person that's famous for being slutty and blonde. Blair: Yea, sure.

So, since the writers started smoking pot to help with their creative process, I've been seeing CB Фаны all over the internet complaining about how crappy the Показать has become. And don't get me wrong, I'm one of those people complaining about what a mess they've made. But еще recently the Комментарии coming from some of these CB 'fans' have been annoying me. Some say it's times like this that bring a fandom together, but I don't think that's the case for CB fans. I think that this crisis has only served to Показать who the real Фаны are. And it's a little scary to me how few we are.

Not only here, but on other sites too, I've seen Комментарии like "Blair's been a total bitch. Chuck deserves better" или "OMG! I hate Blair so much. I don't think I can even ship Chair anymore." And to those people I can only say don't! If that's how Ты feel, don't call yourself a CB shipper anymore, because Ты aren't. You're just a Chuck Фан who wants him to end up with Blair because he loves her или whatever. Don't go on sites dedicated to Chuck and Blair's relationship if Ты can't stand 50% of this ship anymore.

I know a lot of the chair Фаны are dying right now with this whole stupid Dair thing (I still can’t believe she’s with lonely judgmental boy) anyways but 5x19 just proved to me Blair is still in Любовь with chuck even if she’s denying it. Now I’m not saying she doesn’t care about Dan или even Любовь (ewwww) but that doesn’t mean she’s not in Любовь with chuck too because she is. It so obvious, when chuck came to ask her for Совет about Elizabeth she immediately accused him of having an ulterior motive and even though he was honest with and told her he only came to her as friend, as someone who been through with him in one of the most hardest times in his life she still didn’t believe him because she NEEDS him to have an ulterior motive, she NEEDS him to be the bad guy that gets in her way because if he’s not then he still the guy that she fell in Любовь with long time назад and if he is she can never be completely happy with Dan knowing the Любовь of her life is still out there, it much easier to make herself believe that she didn’t walk out on true love, that Dan is not a settlement that Dan is not her секунда choice not her first. She trying to connives herself that he...

Because we Любовь you, we took one for the team and settled in to watch this episode of–supposedly–Gossip Girl. Before we get into actually reviewing the episode, can we just say that we’re confused as to which Показать we’re watching since the two main characters did not share a SINGLE scene together? We’re not exaggerating — Blair and Serena failed to be in the same room at any point during 5.18. The closest thing we got to a Serena/Blair scene was Blair bitching to Humps about Serena walking into their shared magical bathroom and interrupting their terrible sex. How dare Serena use the bathroom! Doesn’t she know Blair is trying to get it in with the Любовь of her BFF’s life? Although really, what would they talk about? Would Serena give Blair pointers on how to have sex in a Brooklyn loft? This storyline is the worst, but ANYWAY.

Furthermore, Chuck only had scenes with Jack бас, бас-гитара and as much as we loved loved loved their scenes other, we felt robbed of our token Nate/Chuck and Lily/Chuck scenes. As Dan opens up to Nate about the terrible sex between him and Blair, we started questioning Nate’s Chair shipper status....

1. Why is he promoting DB and ignoring Chuck and Blair? Uh. Becuase the Далее 6 episodes are about DB, couple wise but of course not entirely. Because THEY are the ones in the relationship right now if nothing else. Not Chuck and Blair. But of course "Chuck and Blair ARE NEVER OVER and THEY have ALWAYS a CONNECTION".

Think of it this way: Expecting him to talk up Chair is equivalent to a Derena Фан expecting Savage to talk about Derena right before the секунда half of S3. Of course she didn't. She talked about Danessa and Serenate because they were the stories right then. Serenate was GOLDEN COUPLE remember? They were talking about Danessa like they are talking about DB right now. Remember those days (sigh).

2. Why won't JS give CB Фаны hope? Once again, think of it like this: That would be like Savage telling Derena Фаны to "Just hold on kids because in 8 еще episodes Dan and Serena are going to Kiss and completely tear apart Dan/Vanessa and Serena/Nate!"

If there is one thing we know about the GG Writers, it’s that they get off on causing pain for Chuck. When they need a plot device in order to Переместить вперед a storyline, throwing Chuck under the bus is their go-to move. What’s that Ты say? Chuck is happy? Let’s bring his mom back for the sole purpose of ruining his relationship with Blair. Oh? Ты need to благодарность Dan and Blair’s budding romance? Let’s put Chuck in a coma. Having observed and been thoroughly fascinated by Chuck for over four and a half seasons, we are amazed by all he has overcome despite the amount of shit that has been thrown his way.

Although Chuck has a reputation of being the resident bad boy of the UES, there is so much еще to him than a naughty streak. He has еще depth and сердце than perhaps anyone else on the Показать (other than perhaps Blair — they might be equally matched here, at least historically speaking). Unlike anyone else on the show, Chuck has grown exponentially since Season One. Yes, he was born a billionaire, but Chuck is living (fictional) proof that money can’t buy happiness, nor does it replace actual human Любовь — which is...

Okay, there are lots of unsavory “spoilers” going around right now, revolving around the death of One Chuck Bass, and we have lots of thoughts of this topic. To save yourself the trouble of reading, here is the short version of our ramblings: “Um, no.”

First and foremost, what would Gossip Girl be without Chuck Bass? The Dan and Blair rom com? Excuse us while we vomit. Chuck ties everyone together; he’s the Любовь of Blair’s life, Serena’s brother, Nate’s best friend, and Dan’s superior in every way imaginable. What would Nate do without him? Sleep with every guest звезда EVER, that’s what. Half of his scenes are with Chuck, mostly pointing out how awesome Chuck is and how Chuck and Blair are meant for each other! And why have the Diana Payne/Bart бас, бас-гитара connection if they were just going to kill him off? There’s еще to that story for sure — without Chuck, who gives a flying fuck? Далее to the Serena and Blair friendship (which is pretty much DOA at the moment), Chuck бас, бас-гитара IS Gossip Girl. When Ed Westwick is filming GG scenes, people FLOCK to the set. When they need...

As per usual, Chuck’s above quote speaks the truth, particularly when it comes to him and Blair. Throughout the course of the show, there have been several moments between them that could have been perceived as “closure” and while this may have stuck had they been any other couple, in each scenario, the end result has only solidified the cold, hard FACT that “Chuck and Blair are never over.” Although we have touched on this in Назад blogs, we would like to take a few moments to expand on these scenes and explore their glorious aftermath.

4.02- “I don’t Любовь Ты anymore.” ~ Blair

Ah, the train station scene. So much beauty, so much heartbreak and wistfulness. So much the end of CB, right? Although this scene could very well have been the end based on the above quote, and the history it stemmed from, it is clear at the same time that Blair, in fact, DOES still Любовь Chuck. It’s obvious by the tears in her eyes and the Любовь that is still apparent there, and...
